Please note that there's no "unstable spaces". The format is very predictable as the 2 spaces after Oct are
- the separator
- the space padded day-of-month output of date.
To avoid the space padding use another format string, e.g.
Code:
date +"%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Z %Y"
Fri Oct 03 17:11:00 CEST 2014

as opposed to the default
Code:
date
Fri Oct  3 17:17:18 CEST 2014
